When you need imagery and other geospatial data to support your workflows, wouldn\u2019t it be great if you could easily search archives in the cloud? Now you can. No more having to access different tools. No more connecting to different APIs to find your data. SpatioTemporal Asset Catalog (STAC) makes this efficient, by delivering a common metadata structure to expose users to various geospatial assets. STAC is an open specification<\/a> that has evolved from different organizations working together to ease the search for data. It has simplified search, discovery, and distribution for providers and users of geospatial data. The main goal is to provide an index of all geospatial imagery. The STAC specification can be used by data providers and geospatial data consumers alike to expose their data for search, discovery, and access in a consistent way.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

With the release of ArcGIS Pro 3.2, users can make a connection to a STAC API<\/a>. Once a connection is made, the STAC UI allows you to work with different collections defined within the STAC API connection. Using the Search STAC Items<\/strong><\/span><\/a> pane, you can refine your search using the available search parameters such as a date range, an extent time and location, and browse the results. Once satisfied with your search results, these datasets can be loaded into ArcGIS Pro maps, scenes, or mosaic datasets for further workflows and analysis.<\/p>\n

Add multiple Landsat 9 scenes to a mosaic dataset using the STAC UI in ArcGIS Pro<\/strong><\/p>\n

As an example, we will make a selection of some Landsat 9 scenes using the STAC UI, and add them to a mosaic dataset.<\/p>\n

Before we proceed, a few preworkflow steps are needed.<\/p>\n
